Open-Minded Crafting Fun Challenge is back! DT post

I'm so excited! After a break Open-Minded Crafting Fun Challenge is back! We are now a monthly challenge - new theme starts always on the 10th. We have also lots of amazing new designers on board.

The theme for the first challenge is "Try Something New". I have to admit that I went with a bit boring choice and just used some new papers and embellies. My excuse is that this card goes to my dad and from the experience I know that a simple card, which doesn't have fancy folds or strange opening mechanisms, works best for him.

My image is Vintage Auto by Doodle Pantry, who is one of our sponsors and generously provided me with this image. The sentiment is from the same set with the image and cut with circle die by Nellie Snellen. I coloured the image with ProMarkers and inked both the image and the sentiment with Distress Ink "Iced Spruce". I used some dark green cardstock for layering (actually that's new one too - and something I don't think I've ever used). The papers are from Mr. Mister stack by Papermania. In addition some brads and silver star stickers, which I attached on the green cardstock to get the centers. The sentiment is attached with 3D foam pads for added dimension.

Inside the card I used another sentiment from the Vintage Auto set. I cut it with circle die and layered with the same dark green cardstock that I used on the front cover. We have four sponsors in the challenge:Doodle PantryPrize - $10 Gift Certificate

I'm a woman nuts about paper crafting. I'm now widening my skills also with other handicrafts. I started studying handicrafts as a hobby in autumn 2013 and I'm gathering my portfolio in this blog. However, more than other crafts this blog is filled with different paper crafting projects, mainly cards.
